She asks her American boyfriend to say the names of Spanish food and the result is grotesque: “Anchoas bravas”

It is often said that love does not enter through the eyes, but through the mouth, hence one of the quintessential plans of a couple is to share food. If we add to this the ingredient of two different nationalities, the menu will not disappoint. However, you don't always get it right the first time.

This is what happened in a TikTok video that has caused a sensation on the platform between a couple made up of a Spanish woman and an American who found themselves involved in a test of typical Spanish dishes where they had to find out their names.

Without fail he got the tripe, chorizo, nougat and gazpacho, among others, right. However, hilarity ensues when the young American confuses pickled anchovies, his girlfriend's favorite dish, and calls them "bravas anchovies." He had initially called them sardines.

The Spanish woman's reaction, far from taking her partner's mistake the wrong way, was one of a mixture of fun and complicity between the two while she corrected the confusion.

Despite this, the networks did not leave a unanimous opinion and not everyone took it as a joke, since many related the boy's lack of knowledge to the "null" American gastronomy.

Anchovies in vinegar are a highly appreciated culinary delight in Spain. They are composed of small anchovy fillets marinated in vinegar, garlic and parsley, served as an appetizer. Whether as a tapa or as a portion, they are one that cannot be missing in the bars and restaurants of this country.
